Rubric Generator
Create a clear marking rubric with your own criteria and performance levels. Add descriptions for each level, then print or save the rubric to grade assignments fairly and consistently.
Why rubrics make grading fairer
A rubric spells out what success looks like before students start, then keeps your marking consistent across a whole stack of work. It removes guesswork for students and defends your grades if anyone questions them. This rubric generator lets you build one from your own criteria and performance levels in minutes.
How to build your rubric
Give the assignment a title, set your performance levels from highest to lowest — for example Excellent down to Needs Work — and add a row for each thing you are assessing, such as structure, evidence or grammar. The preview updates as you type, and the print version gives you blank description cells to fill in by hand or a clean grid to mark against.
Share it with students first
Hand the rubric out when you set the task, not after. Students who can see exactly how they will be judged produce stronger work and complain less about marks. Combine it with the Lesson Plan Generator so your objective, activity and assessment all line up.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many performance levels should a rubric have?
Three to five works well. Four is popular because it avoids a neutral middle, forcing a clearer judgement. You can set any levels you like.
Can I print a blank rubric to fill in?
Yes. The print version gives you a clean grid you can annotate by hand or mark against directly.
Can I reuse a rubric for different assignments?
Yes. Adjust the title and criteria and reprint — building a set of reusable rubrics saves time each term.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free and private.
